Perl ads on Stackoverflow

To submit an opensource project then you will need a login to their meta stackoverflow site (OpenID, once account created you can then associate this login with your stackoverflow one). After that you need logo of 220x220px and a link to the opensource project.

The final prerequisite is that the submission receives a minimum of 6 votes before ad is served up.

There are currently the following Perl projects listed (all of these are currently above 6 votes and so do get served):

NB. Anyone wanting to improve on my cropping & massaging I did to get logo’s to 220×220 then please do so (its a community wiki. Just login and amend).

As part of Perl marketing, advocacy, support or whatever tickles your fancy, please consider adding some other Perl projects which you find invaluable. And while there please help out the current projects with an up vote 🙂

/I3az/

PS. Perl itself could be included (there are Python & Clojure submissions). I’m not sure what logo should be used or even allowed to be used. Perhaps someone in the know with logo to hand could submit the appropriate ad.

PPS. Stackoverflow gets lots of eyeballs. Depending on what you read, its either around 1m or nearly 3m unique visits per month!

In order to vote you need a minimum number of reputation. If you are new to meta stack overflow you would not have that number but if you associate your meta account with an already existing Stack Overflow account you immediately get 100 reputation point that will allow you to (up)vote the projects.

Yes the post is for the established Stackroverflow users. For new users see my previous post Stackoverflow.com and Perl. Get acquainted with stackoverflow first, kick the tyres and then have a look at “meta stackoverflow” if you want to upvote or submit an ad.

About…..

My name is Barry Walsh. I'm a freelance IT consultant from London, UK. [more]

This blog is mostly about Perl programming because this is what I use and love (and occasionally hate!) for the majority of my working (and sometimes non-working) day.

Occasionally I will touch on other subjects like PostgreSQL, Mac OSX, UNIX, Linux, Ruby, jQuery, Javascript, XML and many more techie things that I also play with regularly. Other non techie aspects of my life may slip in now and again but I'll try and keep that to a minimum because its normally boring anyway :)
